Currently, pretty much all the development is being done by Tim Edwards, and none of this is part of the CVS tree. Please see Tim's web page for the latest and greatest.  Downloading / Getting Magic
Unless you want a specific older version, please download version 7.1 or one of the newer development versions. These versions must be compiled with GNU make (gmake). - Version 7.1 (download). This is the current stable version of magic, and contains all the enhancements of previous versions that we know of. We will make this an official release as soon as we have consolidated all known patches to the magic 6.5 tree.
Useful links: Earlier versions: - Version 7.0 (download). This version is an extension of 6.5 (not 6.5.2) and contains a Scheme command line interpreter and various additional commands documented in the new scheme tutorials.
- Version 6.5.2 (download). This version extends 6.5 with commands and features documented on Tim's web page.
- Version 6.5, released by DEC WRL (download)
For those interested in the bleeding edge, look at the development versions. Feature Configuration The last step in the magic configuration process (encountered when you say "gmake config") is to select a set of features that you'd like compiled. Please note that the following two features should not be turned on unless you are sure you know what you're doing: - multiuser file-locking
- Non-Manhattan geometry
Both these features are "works in progress." How to install it Capsule summary: - mkdir ~/cad-try ~/cad-try/src # start with a fresh directory, or existing ~cad directory
- gunzip magic-xxx.tar.gz # uncompress the distribution
- cd ~/cad-try/src; tar xvf - < ~/magic-xxx.tar # un'tar the files
- cd magic-xxx; setenv CAD_HOME ~/cad-try
- gmake config # configure for your machine & OS
- gmake install # compile & install in CAD_HOME
After retrieving the file, use uncompress and tar to extract the contents. (Your web browser might have already uncompressed it for you.) After you un-tar things you will find a READ_ME file in src/magic. Documentation is in src/magic/doc. Be sure to read the READ_ME file. You MUST type "gmake config" in the src/magic directory to configure things for your particular machine. You should set the CAD_HOME environment variable to point to the root of the place you want the program installed. If you are one of the magic maintainers, you can access the CVS repository remotely. How to get a manual The magic-xxx/doc directory contains Postscript for the manual. You can obtain an electronic copy of the manual for magic 6.5 (DEC WRL report number 90/7) here.
